I am looking for a book or even a series that is similar to the new movie ‘the killer’ on Netflix. I have seen a few posts on here suggesting books like The day of the jackal and victor the assassin but I get a sense that these books dive deep into an almost super hero like fantasy version of the main characters from the reviews. I know the killer is also based on a graphic novel but I am just wondering if anyone knows of a book or series that is similar. My specific preference would be relatively modern, crime, thriller, that does a good job at keeping the main character from doing crazy unrealistic acts. I understand the need for some stretching of the truth but I’d love to see how a good writer would keep the main character out of jail (and alive) with only the tools accessible in the 21st century. Thank you all for any suggestions!
